She has spent the last weeks puffed up and sleepy, only waking for food, thought she was on the way out, but husband found her the other day sitting on our other hen's newly laid eggs
can she really be broody being so old in chicken years? the symptoms matched what I have found online for broody behavior but it seems far fetched that that is what is going on.
she never acted this way when she was laying (which she stopped doing about 1 or more years ago)
thinking of getting some fake eggs or golf balls for her to nest on, poor thing
thanks if anyone has any thoughts/advice
and yes she is a pet
